I Started With An SSS-Rank, And Two SS-RANK Talents

Boss Fight ( Part I)

( This meat is very delicious!) Xia exclaimed in pleasure, as she savored the taste of the finely golden roasted Man-Eating rabbit meat.

    Yunxi had decided to have roasted meat and potatoes as their breakfast. She had roasted three rabbits with some spices her mother packed for her. Apparently, Xia had a large appetite. She was actually the one who ate most. Yunxi only took half of a rabbit.

   " This should be enough. We must clear this dungeon and get out as soon as possible. " Yunxi had already finished her food. She slowly sipped her water, as she looked around.

    They were surrounded by the silence of the forest. And the ominous fog above her was eerie.

  ( Okay!) Since Xia had been satisfied with her cravings, of course, she would gladly do anything Yunxi asked of her.

-  - - - -

   A figure jumped out, with its claws brandished, which glinted as the sun rays touched it , and aimed for Yunxi's head.

   The head is the most crucial part of the body. One can't possibly train one's head to be indestructible . Or can they ? Well…Yunxi's head isn't indestructible.

   She lay down on the ground as the claws were about to touch her. The flying figure couldn't stop, and landed on its feet on the other side.

   Yunxi was already on her feet, vigilant. The figure was a three meter tall gray wolf. Its body was robust, and filled with visible muscles.

   " A level 15."

   ( Level 15 ?! Okay! Let's take care of it.) Xia said excitedly. She was brimming with energy, and it felt like she could take on Thanos in Avengers.

  "  Wolves move in packs. This should be the weakest among them ."

  ( You say….what ?!!!) Xia's determination crumbled. She moved closer to Yunxi in fright.

  True to what Yunxi said, wolves emerged behind the tall grasses and surrounded them. They were mostly gray, and brown.

   "Damn! This is bad!" For the first time, Yunxi cursed. The weakest among the wolves was the wolf that first attacked her, level 15. The others had their levels higher than that. And the pack leader isn't among them. Among the thirty wolves that surrounded her , the highest was level 23.

   Earlier, Yunxi had the idea to lure the animals with the smell of blood. Since they didn't want to come out, she would drag them out. She disclosed her plan to Xia , which she was ecstatic with.

     Along the way , she had littered one of the low level Man-Eating rabbit blood on the ground. Leaving a trail to their current location. If she had known this was the kind of monster that would come knocking on her door, she wouldn't have done what she did.

    Well, she couldn't cry over spilled milk. Sooner or later, she would have to face them. It's just that there was a high level difference between them.

  ' Thank Goodness! I had the idea to let Xia be invisible. ' She thought as she brandished her weapons. Two daggers, each in one hand. Xia was only visible to her , although she was invisible.

   " GRRRRR!!!!" The wolves bared their fangs, as they saw Yunxi's weapon. They were ready to attack and they did.

    ' System, place 15 points in strength, 10 in dexterity, and 20 in Agility.'

  [ Done !]

   Yunxi felt her body become lighter, and an incredible burst of power coursed through her.

   ' Xia , distribute your free attribute points into the important stats for this fight!'  Along the way, Yunxi briefed Xia all about the system and its functions.

   ( Okay!) She immediately did as she was instructed.

     The wolves all moved together, and attacked. Xia  moved away from Yunxi's side , as the wolves made their moves. The wolves were in sync, and all their weak spots were covered.

   Yunxi's eyes were burning, as she used Stun on the closest Wolf . She immediately plunged her daggers into its eyes, and hurriedly removed it before striking the next wolf at its vital part, the heart.

   Stun could only affect one target,
at a time , and consumes a hefty amount of Mana. With her high intelligence, she had planned out her strategy to take them out.

   First, she increased her strength, agility, and dexterity. With increased strength, she could penetrate their iron furs. With increased agility she could move faster. With increased dexterity, she had better manipulation of her daggers.

   Stun could make her target unmovable, and she could easily take them down. Coupled with Shadow Steps, Rhythm Echo, and Jump. She was invincible on the battle ground. She moved so fast , that only a blur was left in her wake. The wolves didn't know what hit them until it was too late.

    Xia wasn't idle either. She was taking down the wolves from behind and sometimes exchanged blows with them. But her greatest advantage was her invisibility. It worked wonders, because the wolves wouldn't know where, when she would attack.

   Of course, Yunxi and Xia had multiple injuries. They weren't fighting low level rabbits. They were fighting high level wolves that were three to seven meters tall.  And as they defeated the wolves, their levels increased, making them almost on equal footing with the wolves.

   Just then an eight meter tall gray wolf with red eyes appeared next to Xia when she became visible and struck her with its large paw. She was flung out of the battlefield, and was about to hit her back on a tall sturdy tree when Yunxi caught her in her arms.

    Yunxi had felt Xia's pain from their connection, and quickly took down the wolf she was currently fighting, before going to her rescue.

   " Are you alright?! " Yunxi asked worriedly. She had the limp cat in her arms, who had a large claw wound around her stomach.

   ( Don't fret. I have unlimited Mana. It would take a while for my body to heal. Please do me a favor, and beat that wolf into a pulp. ) Xia said with a crazy look on her face .

   " With pleasure! Rest for a while. I would be back before you know it. " Yunxi carefully laid Xia on the ground, with the soft grasses acting as a cushion.

   She stood up and turned around to face the Alpha wolf, and seven heavily wounded wolves by its side.

   ' System, add 5 points to intelligence, 30 to agility, and the remainder to strength. '

   [ Executed!]

    Yunxi's body swelled with indomitable power. She kept her daggers, and unsheathed her sword. This was a real battle. One that deserves the presence of an A rank Sword, forged by a skilled Alchemist, Shadow Sword.

    The sword glinted in murderous aura, just as its wielder .
